All we do is waste our time, at least if you ask our neighbours.
You never see we in a factory line, or sitting and pushing paper.

Yeah, we do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
And ska is all we need.

Headed for the big, big time, ready to face our vultures,
Signing on the dotted line, designing to raise our culture.

Yeah, we do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
And ska is all we need.

The deeper the water, the cooler the stream,
The thicker the lumber, the stronger the beam.
Now rudie come lately all over the scene,
Trading the black and white for green.
Yeah, because he don't know what it means.
Yeah, we ska.

We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
And ska is all we need.

No voice from the tower can tell me what's real,
You bring your own honor, so honor the real deal.

Yes they would take you to the moon,
If you would only change your tune.
Waving the mighty dollar sign,
They bait and hook their bottom line.
But now we say goodbye to greed
Because life is sewing seed,
So red stripe and collie weed, yeah,
And ska is all we need. Yeah, we ska.

We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
And ska is all we need. Yeah, we ska.

We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
We do the ska, yeah we ska, yeah we ska.
And ska is all we need.
